Question

Can I get help please?

Answer 1

x = 1/4, y = 1/2

Explanation:

First we can solve for y in each equation.

3x - 1/4 = y

y = 1/2(x) + 3/8

This means 3x - 1/4 = 1/2(x) + 3/8.

Simplifying, we get 5/2(x) = 5/8. This means x = 1/4. Now, we plug in x = 1/4 into the first equation to get

3(1/4) - 1/4 = y

3/4 - 1/4 = y

y = 2/4 = 1/2
